"This..."

Upon hearing Hu Xiaobei's blunt and loud question, both mother and daughter were stunned...

They thought that Hu Xiaobei was now being way too bold...

After all, they were facing a poison snake!

Thinking this, Haruno Nanako said nervously in a low voice, "Xiaobei, please... please don't take it lightly. That snake looks very scary, and it had bitten Mom before!"

Haruno Rei, reminded of the previous incident, shuddered violently the next moment.

Then, she chimed in anxiously, "Exactly, Xiaobei, we... we can't afford to provoke it, let's run!"

Once bitten by a snake, one is scared of a well rope for ten years!

Right now, just standing here and looking at this deep black snake was enough to send chills through Haruno Rei!

Truly, at this moment, Haruno Rei's soul was trembling...

Hearing their terrified responses, Hu Xiaobei chuckled and said, "Don't worry, you guys shouldn't be afraid. I used to be very good at catching snakes, so this little problem is not a big deal for me. If I want, within minutes, I could have it performing 'snake dances'!"

Feeling the confidence in Hu Xiaobei's words, Haruno Nanako asked with some skepticism, "Xiaobei, are you for real?"

After Haruno Nanako's intervention, Haruno Rei quickly supported her, "Exactly, Xiaobei, please don't try to show off! This snake is really very poisonous!"

"Rest assured! It's absolutely no problem!"

After saying this, Hu Xiaobei continued to observe the deep black snake.

Hu Xiaobei then noticed that the black snake indeed looked terrifying.

Especially the lifelike patterns on its body gave off an ice-cold suffocating feeling!

Previously, Hu Xiaobei had seen many kinds of poisonous snakes.

But he had never seen a poisonous snake quite like this one.

Hu Xiaobei knew that this particular type of snake was native to Japan.

Having confirmed this, Hu Xiaobei looked at it again...

Soon after, Hu Xiaobei was somewhat surprised.

This was because he noticed that the snake was also observing him.

However, it focused more on Haruno Rei who stood behind him.

Hu Xiaobei knew that the reason it was stunned while staring at Haruno Rei was that the snake had not expected her to still be alive and standing there.

Hu Xiaobei guessed right!

The snake was currently feeling frustrated...

If it could talk, it would certainly blurt out in astonishment, "Damn, you... how are you not dead yet! Weren't you poisoned?"

Of course, it couldn't talk, so now it could only stare at Haruno Rei in astonishment, using this to express its perplexity and bewilderment.

...

"Mom, do you think Xiaobei will be alright?"

While Hu Xiaobei and the snake stared each other down, Haruno Nanako, protected behind him, asked nervously...

Hearing Haruno Nanako's anxious question, Haruno Rei took a deep breath and responded nervously, "I... I don't know. But, your Xiaobei doesn't seem like an average person. So, I think he must have a way."

"Hopefully... Hopefully that's true!"

Hearing Haruno Rei's response, Haruno Nanako felt somewhat relieved.

But even so, she still clenched her fists nervously!

She knew that the snake was indeed very poisonous.

Therefore, if Hu Xiaobei really got into trouble later, they wouldn't be able to save him!

...

Oblivious to their anxiety, after looking at the snake for a short while longer, Hu Xiaobei smiled and said amiably, "Let me introduce myself, my name is Hu Xiaobei!"

During this friendly introduction, Hu Xiaobei reached out with a beaming smile.

Seeing Hu Xiaobei stretching out his hand directly toward it, they were dumbfounded...

"What... What's going on here? Has he... has he gone mad?"

At this moment, their minds were completely blank!

Because they really hadn't expected Hu Xiaobei to do something like that...

Not only were they taken by surprise, but the black venomous snake making eye contact with Hu Xiaobei was also stunned...

Noticing its confusion, Hu Xiaobei spoke indifferently, "What's with the attitude? Can't we even be friends?"

As Hu Xiaobei spoke again, the black venomous snake quickly raised its head...

Hu Xiaobei knew it was about to bite him and narrowed his eyes. At the same time, waves of murderous intent rapidly began to emanate from him...

He knew that the murderous aura wasn't intense, but the black snake could definitely feel it.

As long as it could feel it, it wouldn't dare to tempt fate again.

Just as Hu Xiaobei was confidently thinking this, the bone-chilling murderous intent enveloped the black snake...

Which caused it to freeze up...

Noticing this, Hu Xiaobei said coolly, "Now, are we okay to be friends? If you agree, put your head down on the ground now and let me pet you."

Hearing Hu Xiaobei's proposal, Haruno Nanako and Haruno Rei stared blankly at him...

In their eyes, there was no way the snake would listen to Hu Xiaobei...

But soon, their eyes widened in shock!

Because after hearing Hu Xiaobei's words, the snake obediently laid its head down!

"Wow, this is too impressive!" exclaimed Nanako in astonishment...

Hearing Nanako's words, Rei nodded and said, "Yes, your brother Xiaobei is really amazing!"

As they expressed their amazement, Rei couldn't help but look towards Hu Xiaobei...

Soon, her gaze became slightly mesmerized...

Before, Rei had thought Hu Xiaobei was very capable.

Now, she realized that Hu Xiaobei was even more formidable than she had imagined.

Like with the venomous snake, Hu Xiaobei had subdued it in mere minutes.

This was something she had not even dared to imagine before.

While they were still in shock, they heard Hu Xiaobei speaking calmly...

"Alright, you don't have to be afraid anymore! It's our friend now."

Hearing Hu Xiaobei introduce it, they subconsciously glanced at the snake...

They still felt afraid...

Sensing their panic, Hu Xiaobei said, "Really, there's no need to be scared!"

After looking at Hu Xiaobei, Nanako whispered, "Brother Xiaobei, are you... are you serious? Is it really our friend now?"

"Of course, it's true!"

Having said this, Hu Xiaobei pointed at the snake lying on the ground and said, "Right, it doesn't have a name yet. Let's come up with a name for it together!"

Nanako seemed a bit intrigued by Hu Xiaobei's suggestion...

After looking at it for a while, Nanako said, "It looks so poisonous, how about we call it Old Poison?"

"Uh..."

Hu Xiaobei's mouth twitched forcibly, and he said somewhat speechlessly, "That... is there a slightly nicer name? This name is a bit too... how should I put it? Too unpleasant!"

"Pfft!"

Hu Xiaobei's speechless expression made them burst into laughter...

Seeing them laughing, Hu Xiaobei knew they weren't so tense anymore...

With a sigh of relief, Hu Xiaobei looked at it and said, "How about this! We call it Dudu, doesn't that sound not bad?"

"Dudu?"

Hearing Hu Xiaobei's words, they looked at each other and soon, they gently nodded in agreement...

And so, its name was decided...

Throughout, Dudu the snake didn't get a chance to express any opinion...

...

"Eh? Are you saying Hu Xiaobei might have already arrived here?"

In a quiet villa in Tokyo, Tanaka Shoichi narrowed his eyes and looked at a person dressed in black kneeling before him...
